I'm just back from a half an hour workout. I ran 4 km, did a few stretches and some push ups. I'm all sweaty and kicked to take on the day. What makes this seemingly routine workout session worthy of a blog? Well, it is the fact that I've been doing all this in Mangalore, where I've come for a niece's wedding. I got off the morning bus in Managalore and reached my uncle's house. We had a good three hours to kill before we left for the wedding. I felt like en-cashing on Mangalore's sultry weather and set out on a jog. The run was splendid. Here's a list of reasons as to why exercising while on a holiday is a great idea:
- You'll have enough idle time on your hands. Make use of it.
- You'll tend to eat heavy food and sit around doing nothing. Burn calories through exercise so, that your body is ready to take all the heavy food.
- Running is a great way to experience the local weather. Each city you visit tends to be different. Some are dry, some are sultry, some are cold. Running is a wonderful to soak up those climates. Each weather type tends to have a different impact on the body. If its sultry you loose water like mad. If its cold, your breathing becomes heavy due to all the work in warming up the body. Experience this sort of acclimatization experiment. It's a great feeling
More to come...got to leave now...have a wedding to attend....cheers!
